Depends upon the Photoshop file as to how well it will come in...or if it does at all. Layer effects are generally lost, etc. Cannot open certain PS files at all if they have something other than a color mode other than what XDP can itself use (so no duotones, LAB colorspace, etc).

Depending upon the PS files, I generally have good/great results opening them in either Photoline or in Corel's Photopaint. Unfortunately, I don't think Photopaint is available as a standalone application anymore (part of CorelDraw "Suite" now I believe). Photoline has a 30-day trial and is pretty cost effective. PL is my main bitmap editor.

But try opening them in your Xara product and see how well they do. If they don't do well or cannot open them at all, consider uploading one here and I can check the bitmap editors I mention to see if they can open them as expected.
